Totally Earthsprout Approved

Hiya! Welcome caring cuties to the new and improved site á la Earthsprout.

Boy what a journey life is, aint it not? In a little more than a year I have moved to Andalusia, lived in the sun 100% aligned with the garden and then moved back to Sweden and my roots. (And this time I know that I´m actually staying!) Earthsprout has grown in a pace that I can barly describe or even grasp.

Anyhow, I invite you to click around like a crazy person on this new site. Read some old posts (though I have only included those that are no older then a year), learn fun and fab things about my journey under the tab ”Elenore”, get to know what my company and work is all about under the tab”Earthsprout”, pin some recipes but above all: Sign up for the newsletter and get a free copy of the Greenylicious Manifesto, you do not want to miss out on that treat I´m telling ya!

I´m not really sure what to say except that I´m so so grateful to be able to share this Earthsprouty love with you all! And with that said, let me present the second list of Totally Earthsprout Approved things that have in some way touched my heart or/and made me giggle. Oh, and I´ll share the recipe of my morning routine, the Golden Detox Drink as well!

The time has come for wild foraging and I´m dancing around the forests, collecting nettle, dandelion, the first edible flowers and other ”weeds”. Yummie says my tummy and who says no to free, organic, loving greens?!

Big thanks to Golubka and Green Kitchen Stories for wanting me to guest post on their amazing & stunning sites. Still blissing out over that fact!

I´m a part of this tremendously great project held in the south of Skåne for women undergoing some form of cancer treatment. Playing with the healing powers of tasty raw foods! Today it´s Pizza day!

I´m reading the Kryon books at the moment and loving the way I remember that we are our own best teachers by being in tuned with ourselves. Magic is all around, fabulous!

I have always thought that www.Rawfoodrecipes.com was the only really high quality collection of raw recipes. Now I´m a featured chef! Wohoo!

I have come to the conclusion that it´s always best to let Fabian make the Raw banana ice cream for us. Then I´m not really aware of how much of the sweet freezed stash he actually takes! Ah blissed and yummy ignorance..

Are you living in Sweden or ever in Malmö, then visit the pride of the city, Raw food House. I went there a few days ago for a green glistening juice and a full moon crafted raw chocolate bliss ball, packed with superfoods and full moon grace.

And last but not least, THE GREENYLICIOUS MANIFESTO! A love list of 21 things that are the roots and heart of both me and Earthsprout. Sign up for the powerful, nutty, tastylicious and gorgeous newsletter just here to the right and get your own copy of the manifesto to put on your fridge! Superhero Adventure!

Golden Detox Drink

This is what I drink upon rising and I really try to make this every day. When I do, my day starts off right and it seems like everything just falls into place. Turmeric and its major active ingredient curcumin are among the top most clinically studied spices today with many many positive effects on our body’s. The chili, turmeric, ginger and lemon all kicks in to both strengthen and awaken your digestive & immune system, the heart, skin etc. The black pepper helps increasing the bioavailibility of the turmeric so that’s a great addition. This drink is a real anti-inflammatory and cleansing one and when you start incorporating this routine in your life you will notice great effects.

2 cup hot water

2 cups cold water

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 small tsp powdered ginger

3 drops Stevia concentrate or 1 tsp raw honey

Pinch of cayenne

pinch freshly cracked black pepper

Juice from 1/2 small organic lemon

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and while it heats up, put the rest of the ingredients including the 2 cups of cold water in your largest favorite tea cup or jar. Enjoy the drink during the morning or bring any leftovers GDD with you for a boost during the day. Share your Golden Detox Drink routine on Instagram using the #earthsprout hashtag!

I would love it if you come over to Facebook and Twitter to tell me if there is anything you would like me to add/improve on this new site! You are the ones I wish feel loved, hugged and inspired when clicking around here.Bliss and Greens!Elenore

Dearest frieds! Thank you so much for your words. I have to say – it means so much that you take some time to write down that first impression of yours! I can see the little blue bird has flown into your hearts as it din into mine;) Thanks again!

I am SOOOOO bursting with joy and excitement and love, love, love for your new site Elenore! It’s GORGEOUS! Hugest congrats, I am so proud of you and all that you’ve accomplished. What an inspiration you are. Wow.

I have been a quiet follower but i wanted to write and tell you how lovely your new site is and how much i appreciate all the information i get here, o have tried many of your recipes and i have always love them.

i would like to try this morning ritual of yours, it will be a week before i can get stevia do to my destination but i have everything else, can i replaced it now as i am eager to start it today with anything else?

What a great website – lovely yet earthy (as if these two were opposites..!), so very much inspiring!

I have a question regarding the detox drink, sorry in advance if this gets lengthy!..
I have been drinking lemon water for a while now and really love what it does to the body as well as the skin! But suddenly, my routine felt too sour in the morning and I started drinking lemon water during the day. Unfortunately, I recently started to have acne (and I’m not a teenager any more, so go figure how annoying that is!) – and I’m a little weary to use cayenne and turmeric. Should I still go for your recipe? And should I start to go for the morning pinch again or keep up the during-the-day-routine?

Yes, it´s wierd how we are trained to think of eartht as something dull.. So THANK you for your words! I´m so glad that you can sense my intention towards this space.

As for your Q.. I think that if your body said no to the sourness it´s good that you took a break. That can be all it takes sometimes to get back on track. I think you should go ahead and order the Stevia concentrate (SO sweet) since it makes all the difference in this recipe! This drink in the morning surely has the capacity to clear up your skin again, love!

i’ve been making something similar to this(but never thought to add cayenne– great idea!), except that i use apple cider vinegar & honey in place of the lemon & stevia. i drink it hot in the morning and cold in the afternoon (sometimes with seltzer instead of flat water– so refreshing!). it’s the perfect pick-me-up!

I must thank you for the efforts you’ve put in penning this website. I’m hoping to see the same high-grade content by you in the
future as well. In fact, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own, personal
website now ;)

Hello! I just came upon your website, and I love, love, love what you’re doing! Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge on these natural, calming foods for the soul. I love how cheerful and optimistic your posts are too, I feel like going away to the countryside now! :)

Quick question about this detox drink- I have never had Stevia and am yet to get my hands on some. In the meanwhile, can I substitute it with honey?

Oh.My.Word! Yes! Off with you to the countryside. Go foraging and we´ll probably meet in the woods;)
You can absolutely substitute with honey but the GDD works best with stevia since its extreme sweetness really balance the bitter turmeric taste.

Hello Elenore, I just mentioned to my husband that we need to get more turmeric in our lives. I use it with making pickles, but we are not bringing it enough into everyday use. My tea kettle is on for a cup of this lovely vibrant colored drink. I love your site, your energy spills over into your blog. Thank you for sharing so much. :)

Hi Elenore i love your website its so inspiring and you make everything look so beautiful. I think your recipes will really change my life. This drink sounds great I was wondering the difference between powdered stevia and concentrate and if its as good to use either?
thanks, becky

Ginger also adds cleansing qualities, and organic lemon juice with cayenne pepper is reminiscent of the detox lemonade diet.

Elenore! I absolutely adore your site and love seeing your regular inspiring photos on instagram! : ) I have doing this drink for a few weeks now and LOVE it. But the only question I have is about the powders. Mine won’t dissolve all the way and the majority of it settles to the bottom. I am using (not boiling but almost)hot water…but just can’t seem to get everything to dissolve. Does yours?

Hi Elenore,
I hope by now you know how much I love you and all of your amazing inspiration.
Do you have any tips on cleaning turmeric out of things – cups, cloth towels, knives?
You have given me this new appreciation for turmeric, fresh and powdered, which I am so grateful for and now its gotten in and on everything. As much as I see its natural beauty, that gorgeous yellow works its magic in so many ways, I still wouldn’t mind a way to clean it up.
Any tips would be wonderful.
Sending all kinds of good love and energy your family’s way.
xoxo,
Jenny

Dear Elanore,
I am a newcomer to your site and am so happy I came accross it. I am eager to start the GDD and have my shopping list next to me ready to go! Just a couple of questions …… can I make a large jug of this drink and keep it in the fridge ? and can I drink it cold each day as being in Australia (and going through menopause) IM not keen on hot drinks.
Thankyou so much for your wonderful site, which I will enjoy reading in full when i return from shopping !!
Kind regards
Debra

I know I’m late t o this post, but I’m confused as to the recipe and really hope you will clarify some. You heat up 2 cups water, and while you’re doing that you add all the ingredients to a cup/jar, along with the 2 cups cold water. And then what? Add the boiling water to that mixture? 4 cups of water seems like quite a lot. You drink it all?

Hello Eleonore,
The drink sounds fantastic! I already start my morning with lemon or apple cider vinegar and water, so I am eager to try this recipe! Have you ever steeped fresh ginger and tumeric root in the hot water and added fresh stevia leaves? I don’t typically use powdered ginger and am not a fan of Stevia powder. I look forward to hearing your reply :-)
Beautiful website!
Sincerely, Stephanie
